Great pick Nine!

Rollo not having the longest song for once o:

'Bros' is excellent, I think some of the solo stuff I've heard from Panda Bear was a little underwhelming but this one absolutely delivered. A great entry from Mattias there as well <3 and I did enjoy the Dannii and All Saints songs a bit more than I maybe would have expected.

I suppose that if the longest song wasn't me, there was a good chance it might be Chez.

I mean I thought changing my signature would be a bit of a giveaway but clearly not I found this by browsing the AcclaimedMusic's best of 2006 (and several of what I found was also entered here including my 18!) and it was a pretty instant standout with it's psychedelic, dreamy vibes. I don't actually know much of Animal Collective's work and should really change that x

I'm under no impression this will be a vote winner with everyone so I just hope the alt bloc is kind enough to me to get a decent position x

Puracane was a great choice, I had that down as potentially being Jade so wondering what else could be her 🤔The Knife would ofc. be great winners if they hold (even if I'd be a bit salty that my entry from the same album couldn't win in Club Bizarre x)

With 22 points, Beirut are next.

I tracked down the thread and it was RFC who sent Islands to Unknown Pleasures in the first place - I wonder if that was an intentional self recycle or not.

Saosin was scratching a Kerrang nostalgia itch for me, hope that can pick up a bit x

Familiar story for me - started strong, fading quickly! Some votes please!

Spoilers

2006 isn't complete without music that leans more towards the emo. 🤣

LOL not Emma in LAST place! You all have NO taste you cretins! 😂☠️

Thanks for the points so far! ❤️

Not too surprised at what’s in the lead atm.

Little surprised to see Snow Patrol at the top

Ffs should have guessed SPICEboy was behind Emma!!!

Ooh wasn’t expecting this to have started - glad I haven’t missed too much!
